tcp: embed inpcb into tcpcb

For the TCP protocol inpcb storage specify allocation size that would
provide space to most of the data a TCP connection needs, embedding
into struct tcpcb several structures, that previously were allocated
separately.

The most import one is the inpcb itself. With embedding we can provide
strong guarantee that with a valid TCP inpcb the tcpcb is always valid
and vice versa. Also we reduce number of allocs/frees per connection.
The embedded inpcb is placed in the beginning of the struct tcpcb,
since in_pcballoc() requires that. However, later we may want to move
it around for cache line efficiency, and this can be done with a little
effort. The new intotcpcb() macro is ready for such move.

The congestion algorithm data, the TCP timers and osd(9) data are
also embedded into tcpcb, and temprorary struct tcpcb_mem goes away.
There was no extra allocation here, but we went through extra pointer
every time we accessed this data.

One interesting side effect is that now TCP data is allocated from
SMR-protected zone. Potentially this allows the TCP stacks or other
TCP related modules to utilize that for their own synchronization.

Large part of the change was done with sed script:

s/tp->ccv->/tp->t_ccv./g
s/tp->ccv/\&tp->t_ccv/g
s/tp->cc_algo/tp->t_cc/g
s/tp->t_timers->tt_/tp->tt_/g
s/CCV\(ccv, osd\)/\&CCV(ccv, t_osd)/g

Dependency side effect is that code that needs to know struct tcpcb
should also know struct inpcb, that added several <netinet/in_pcb.h>.

tcp: Congestion control cleanup.

NOTE: HEADS UP read the note below if your kernel config is not including GENERIC!!

This patch does a bit of cleanup on TCP congestion control modules. There were some rather
interesting surprises that one could get i.e. where you use a socket option to change
from one CC (say cc_cubic) to another CC (say cc_vegas) and you could in theory get
a memory failure and end up on cc_newreno. This is not what one would expect. The
new code fixes this by requiring a cc_data_sz() function so we can malloc with M_WAITOK
and pass in to the init function preallocated memory. The CC init is expected in this
case *not* to fail but if it does and a module does break the
"no fail with memory given" contract we do fall back to the CC that was in place at the time.

This also fixes up a set of common newreno utilities that can be shared amongst other
CC modules instead of the other CC modules reaching into newreno and executing
what they think is a "common and understood" function. Lets put these functions in
cc.c and that way we have a common place that is easily findable by future developers or
bug fixers. This also allows newreno to evolve and grow support for its features i.e. ABE
and HYSTART++ without having to dance through hoops for other CC modules, instead
both newreno and the other modules just call into the common functions if they desire
that behavior or roll there own if that makes more sense.

Note: This commit changes the kernel configuration!! If you are not using GENERIC in
some form you must add a CC module option (one of CC_NEWRENO, CC_VEGAS, CC_CUBIC,
CC_CDG, CC_CHD, CC_DCTCP, CC_HTCP, CC_HD). You can have more than one defined
as well if you desire. Note that if you create a kernel configuration that does not
define a congestion control module and includes INET or INET6 the kernel compile will
break. Also you need to define a default, generic adds 'options CC_DEFAULT=\"newreno\"
but you can specify any string that represents the name of the CC module (same names
that show up in the CC module list under net.inet.tcp.cc). If you fail to add the
options CC_DEFAULT in your kernel configuration the kernel build will also break.

Fix bugs in plugable CC algorithm and siftr sysctls.

Use the sysctl_handle_int() handler to write out the old value and read
the new value into a temporary variable. Use the temporary variable
for any checks of values rather than using the CAST_PTR_INT() macro on
req->newptr. The prior usage read directly from userspace memory if the
sysctl() was called correctly. This is unsafe and doesn't work at all on
some architectures (at least i386.)

In some cases, the code could also be tricked into reading from kernel
memory and leaking limited information about the contents or crashing
the system. This was true for CDG, newreno, and siftr on all platforms
and true for i386 in all cases. The impact of this bug is largest in
VIMAGE jails which have been configured to allow writing to these
sysctls.

Per discussion with the security officer, we will not be issuing an
advisory for this issue as root access and a non-default config are
required to be impacted.

When ABE was added (rS331214) to NewReno and leak fixed (rS333699) , it now has
a destructor (newreno_cb_destroy) for per connection state. Other congestion
controls may allocate and free cc_data on entry and exit, but the field is
never explicitly NULLed if moving back to NewReno which only internally
allocates stateful data (no entry contstructor) resulting in a situation where
newreno_cb_destory might be called on a junk pointer.

- NULL out cc_data in the framework after calling {cc}_cb_destroy
- free(9) checks for NULL so there is no need to perform not NULL checks
before calling free.
- Improve a comment about NewReno in tcp_ccalgounload

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
